Lauren Beacham

Planetary Alignment

Inspired by the "pale blue dot" we call home, its radiant home star, and silvery, storied satellite, fine art photographer turned jewelry designer Lauren Beacham created this wearable tribute to the Earth, Sun, and Moon. The three landmarks of the solar system are represented by digital images, set in delicate bezels aligned in an elegant pendant, and placed along a fine, 18 inch chain. The necklaces are individually handmade using sterling silver, archival and acid- free giclee prints of Hubble telescope images, and high quality glass, forming a personal array of celestial charms to orbit your ensemble. Handmade in Maryland.

Lauren Beacham designs and produces jewelry with her husband Tyler in their little mountain studio in Maryland. Lauren's degree and background in fine art photography and computer imaging led her to start a line of inspired, photo-based jewelry nearly 8 years ago which has blossomed into a creative machine of a business. Her love of science and the beauty of space spurred the galaxy collection in 2013. With it's wild success, the team has focused most of their energy and talents into expanding this collection with new designs being released on a regular basis. Lauren's personal style is reflected in each piece; a combination of chic simplicity with unique, gorgeous, colorful images lends itself to a very special outcome.

I bought this for my daughter's birthday. When I opened it, the silver chain was mostly black tarnished. The top sun piece was dented along the silver edge. I can't believe the item was even shipped in that condition. And for the price, I expected something better, not tarnished or damaged. Very upset and disappointed.

Was this a gift?:

Yes

Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend
